A school of thought, like fishes

• If you don't appreciate art and your daughter's an artist, it doesn't mean you shouldn't appreciate her, too. Also, If you love money, and your boyfriend's poor, it doesn't mean you shouldn't love your boyfriend. (Change words to suit your taste.)
• If a person always fall short of your expectations, deliberately or not, maybe you've been setting your expectations too high.
• Skipping Sunday mass is like forgetting to take a bath - you don't go to hell for it.
• Nagging cannot be considered as a way of communication. It's a one-way conversation. Like spam, it's usually filtered if not ignored and deleted.
• If there's no opportunity for a tete-a-tete, steal the other person's diary. You'll find what you are (not) looking for.
• The rain does not hide your tears - they wash them away.
• Authority doesn't always come with respect.
• Curiosity is a the original form of insubordination.
• Exhaust all means of persuasion before you start using reverse psychology.
• Guessing your way into anything means you'll have a 50% chance of always guessing wrong.
